Hi there! I'm Jessie and I have been in the Early Childhood/Elementary Education field for over 25 years! I am most proud of the 23 years I have spent teaching Kindergarten because I believe a child's first formal educational experience can set the pace for years of academic, social, and emotional success. I believe in the importance of providing a developmentally appropriate and nurturing environment while simultaneously introducing my young students to meaningful learning activities that strengthen and prepare to be a successful student for life.
I have a Bachelor's of Science in Elementary and Early Childhood Education and a Master's of Education in Early Childhood Education. After years in the Kindergarten classroom, for the past 2 years I have been working in my school district as the Gifted Support Teacher, MTSS Coordinator, and Instructional Coach. This transition has allowed me to guide my colleagues as they apply the best teaching practices for their students including developing differentiated instruction, accommodations, and other supports to help tailor their student's learning experiences.
As an experienced educator and mother myself, I understand a parent's desire to provide their child with the best start to their early years as a student. I am excited to work with your child to help them prepare for the milestone of becoming a Kindergarten student, remediate Kindergarten skills or even provide meaningful enrichment as they transition to 1st grade. I am also happy to help support other elementary school-aged students with any grade level support they may need. I'm excited to use my summer break as a way to support students and I'd love to connect with you to discuss how I can help! Please reach out with any questions or to get started! I will respond to your email within 24 hours. Thank you!
